Docker Features

Docker has a lot of features, but we’re listing some of the major ones here.

• Faster and easier configuration
• Increase productivity
• Application Isolation
• Swarm
• Routing Mesh
• Services
• Security Management

Faster and easier configuration

It’s a docker feature that makes it easier to set up the system.

Due to Docker’s versatility, we can deploy our code faster and with less effort. The infrastructure requirements are no longer based on the application environment.

Increase productivity

It has increased productivity by simplifying technical configuration and rapid deployment of applications. Docker not only makes it easier to run applications in isolated environments, but it’s also saved resources.

Application Isolation

Using containers, we can run applications in an isolated environment. Each container is independent of another and we can run anything.

Swarm

Docker containers can be clustered and scheduled with Swarm. It uses the Docker API as its front end, so we can use various tools to control it. You can also use it to control a cluster of Docker hosts as one virtual host. This is a self-organizing group that allows pluggable backends to work.

Routing Mesh

By enabling the connection even if no task is running on the node, it routes incoming requests for ports on available nodes to an active container.

Services

Swarm schedules containers across nodes based on a list of tasks that describe the state of the container within a cluster.

Security Management

The swarm allows us to save secrets and then choose which services have access to them.

It includes some important engine commands like secret inspect and secret create.
